The schedule, previews, and predictions for all eight games to kickoff the 2026 college football season.

Opposition research: Michael Harris II

The situation for the Phillies has gotten beyond the level of ugliness. It’s so dire that I was actually encouraged by them getting to extra innings before losing on Thursday. On the other hand, the Phillies’ opponents this weekend have had just about everything go right this season. Is it possible that the Braves somehow […]

2026 NFL Day Two Mock Draft: Where do Steelers go?

The lights were perfect. The stage was set. And for a few hours, the city of Pittsburgh reminded the football world exactly why it sits at the heart of the sport. Inside the building, the franchise’s past stood shoulder to shoulder with its future. Hall of Fame icons like Ben Roethlisberger and Terry Bradshaw drew […]

Thank you and farewell, Testudo Times

A message from managing editor Matt Germack As I get ready to graduate next month, today is my final day at Testudo Times. That’s probably a good thing for Maryland athletics. I’ve been an editor here for two 4-8 football seasons and a 12-21 basketball season; the Crab Five exploded during my semester abroad in […]

Men’s basketball player reviews: Jake West

As we move forward with more men’s basketball player reviews, it’s now time to analyze the season of Jake West, the 6-foot-3 freshman guard from Philadelphia. The Good After a dormant first half of his first year, West erupted in the new year, emerging as a starting combo guard for the ‘Cats. From the Rutgers […]

McVay’s body language doesn’t tell full Ty Simpson story

A lot of people are making assumptions about Sean McVay’s “body language” and perceived behavior when the Rams met with the media after drafting Ty Simpson, suggesting that he’s upset about it. Is there any truth to that? We can’t know from our perspective. “Reading” a person’s body language at a press conference is an […]

Stay calm Edmonton, it’s only Game 3

There’s no linear path to winning the Stanley Cup. Losses are inevitable, meaning that, from time to time, your team won’t have a good performance. If you’ve experienced an Edmonton Oilers playoff run before, you’ll know all about this.  They were 2-0 down to L.A. last year, 3-2 down to Vancouver the year before, and…

Islanders & Playoff News: The end for Bridgeport

Happy Shawn Bates Penalty Shot Day. After last night’s AHL results, there is officially nothing Islanders playoff-related to discuss anymore except the past and perhaps hopes for the future. The end of Bridgeport’s 25-year run as the Islanders’ AHL affiliate came with a frustratingly familiar, quick playoff exit. The Bridgeport Islanders (nee Sound Tigers) were […]

Manchester City vs Southampton Team News: Rodri, Ruben Dias, Jack Stephens

Friday OpenThread

I’m fighting a losing battle with jet lag. When I was younger it never bothered me but now, I’m a zombie for days. I played tennis yesterday afternoon, badly, in a fog. I don’t get jet lag going to places (or at least not near as bad), I think the fun of being somewhere new […]

Kentucky football lands Lexington TE Conrad Hart

Kentucky football continues its strong early push in the Class of 2027, landing a commitment from Lexington Christian Academy tight end Conrad Hart on Friday. Hart, a 6-foot-5, 235-pound in-state prospect, becomes the latest addition to a rapidly growing recruiting class under head coach Will Stein. The 3-star tight end chose the Wildcats shortly after […]

Braxton Ashcraft looking great to start the season for Pirates

One of the strengths for the Pittsburgh Pirates to start the season has been their starting rotation, and right-handed pitcher Braxton Ashcraft is a big reason because of that. In his most recent start for the Pirates, he threw seven innings and 94 pitches, both career-highs, while only allowing two earned runs against the Texas […]

Women’s basketball player review: Tayla Thomas

Tayla Thomas ascended to new heights in her second season with Northwestern, becoming a staple of the starting lineup and a necessary sidekick to Grace Sullivan. While Thomas only played less than eight minutes per game in her first-year as a ‘Cat, she averaged over 24 minutes in her sophomore season. The increase saw her […]
